Roberto Mancini hopes the continued lack of interest in signing Carlos Tevez
will ensure the Argentina striker stays at Manchester City.

Tevez returned to training on Monday after a fraught summer during which he
handed in an official transfer request and was unsuccessfully pursued by
Corinthians, his former club, who pulled out of the deal at the last minute.

It was still expected that he would leave City before the transfer window
closes at the end of the month, with Inter Milan among the clubs to be
linked with the leading the chase for the 27-year-old.
